CBD Grade-A office rents up by 2.1% q-o-q in 1Q2022: Cushman & Wakefield
Lampard prepares for CBD Grade-A workplace rental development to trend greater, coming in at around 5% for the entire of 2022.
On the whole, Cushman & Wakefield remains positive on the Singapore workplace market expectation, despite “raising downside dangers”. While it does not anticipate the Ukraine war to have a direct effect on the Singapore office market, inflationary pressures are anticipated to stay elevated because of higher energy costs as well as supply-chain disturbances intensified by lockdowns in China, which is a key business partner for Singapore.
“Rochester Commons, the only brand-new Grade-A decentralised workplace advancement this year, has actually been mostly pre-committed by Sea Team. The next decentralised Grade-An office development, Labrador Tower, will only be finished in 2024,” she clarifies.
Wong Xian Yang, head of study, Singapore, at Cushman & Wakefield, anticipates ongoing recovery for the decentralised workplace market, given commercial decentralisation tasks, spillover need from the CBD, as well as restricted new Grade-A decentralised workplace supply.
Nevertheless, the recurring economic unpredictabilities could possibly slow the increase of rates of interest, states Mark Lampard, head of commercial leasing, Singapore, at Cushman & Wakefield. The reopening of Singapore’s economy will certainly also improve inhabitants’ confidence to occupy extra office space, he includes.
